Well, I’m no doctor.  But from my layman’s perspective, I’d have to argue that these are the symptom of a once-vibrant free-market capitalist body politic riddled with a host of statist tumors .   Removing the stigma of going on public aid, coupled with disconcerting studies showing that it actually pays more to be an unemployed single parent than a worker making, say, $60K a year in the private sector, is

This is actually a great idea.  Maybe we can begin keeping our own massive databases of people who essentially wish to live in a different country — because that (along with volunteering for indentured servitude to the state and its policing powers) is what it means to repeal the Bill of Rights — so that when the time comes, we of the Constitutional stripe can check IDs and inform those

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of

As a complement to Glenn Reynolds’s USA Today column yesterday (featuring the abhorrent behavior of some Nevada law enforcement officers), there’s this excerpt from Radley Balko’s new book, published on Sladon:  “‘Why did you shoot me? I was reading a book’: The new warrior cop is out of control”: Several months earlier at a local bar, Fairfax County, Virginia, detective David Baucum overheard the thirty-eight-year-old optometrist and some friends wagering

Me, I drive a pair of Jeeps these days, an inline 6-cylinder ’94 Wrangler Sahara that gets about 14-20 MPG, and a V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhook that has a tow-capacity of 7400 lbs and logs in 13-22 MPG — and I use a gasoline mower and other gasoline powered tools, as well as pamper with extravagant and delicious CO2 buffets the 5 trees on my property, whose consequent oxygen

I’ve been crash-coursing to bring myself up-to-date on HMTL5/CSS3 to help someone with some webcoding so have been a bit neglectful about posting today. Buzz has it that Lone Ranger bombed big time. Meanwhile, the little yellow minions beat everyone like a red-headed stepchild.
